AUDIO VISUAL AIDS ASSOCIATION Seated left to right: Steven Keenan, Secretary, Leslie Brevard, President; Robert Bowser, Vice President. The purpose of the Audio-Visual Aids Association is twofold: one, to acquaint the members with the operation and uses of the various audio-visual equipment; and two, to provide assistance to the various clubs and classes using the audio-visual equip- ment. Members of this club are assured of a background which will prove invaluable during their future teaching careers. Until this year, the Audio-Visual Aids Association has been guided by Mr. Melvin Merken. In the fall of 1962, however, Mr. Paul Davis was appointed to the faculty of this college and was given complete charge of the Audio-Visual Aids Department. The future of the Audio-Visual Aids Association is very promising; and with the guidance of Mr. Davis, it will become an active and integral part of the college. Faculty Adviser: Mr. Paul Davis

CERCLE FRANCAIS Seated left to right: Isabel Sullivan, Secretary; Julie Lorusso, Social Charman; Valerie Erickson, Vice President; Standing left to right: David Moskal, Treasurer; Ronald Dalbec, President. Cercle Francais continues to serve as the primary source of cultural activity and con- versational interest for the French language student. Activities are designed to evoke a better understanding and appreciation of French life and arts, as members attain greater competency in the spoken language. Cercle Francais, through its affiliation with the National Federation of Alliances Francaises, acknowledges the Alliance Francais of Worcester as a direct means of contact with French civilization, since students are invited to hear the official lecturers sent to the United States as representatives of French culture. Participation in the celebration of National Language Week, a Christmas party, and a spring banquet highlight the annual club events. Faculty Adviser: Miss Marguerite C. McKelligett
